This week, in my little Internet sphere, a friend I have known only through blogging has blogged about blogging issues. Fresca is the creative person behind some cool videos (about things other than blogging). She is an author of geography books and someone who knows how to make her own books, if the situation calls for it.
Fresca did a post, here, about comments on blogs and one here about the blog rolls that many bloggers (including myself) set up in their sidebars. She’s posed extensive thoughts on how this blog phenomena has been expanding and evolving. If you’re interested in such stuff, it’s recommended reading, especially along with the comments people have left, sharing their own perspectives. A lot of thoughts are and will be thunk about this 21st Century activity.
What I enjoyed most about the ideas in Fresca’s posts is a sort of ditty that popped into my brain after reading them. Not wishing to pressure those dear “lurkers” who are fine with simply reading blogs, this is for those of us who like to participate in our quirky community:
To keep blithe blogger buds happy,
send a few comments their way.
Like crumbs in the park for a birdie,
your responses will brighten their day.
:o)
What a dear ditty!
Did you compose it?
Blogging about blogging is almost as interesting as writing about writing, for me. It’s such a new form–even if we don’t think about it, we’re communicating in radical new ways.
Thanks for the kudos, Deanna.
It’s what comes along, Fresca, after I plunked out “poems” on my mom’s typewriter all those years. :o)
Here’s a whole ‘slice’ of thanks for the cute poem.
Hee, hee, Mom. Thank you!
